No gadgets except for the phones? That kinda takes out part of the point of the James Bond films since after all he supposed to have all these fancy gadgets. That doesnt sound good, i wana watch that Seth Rogan and James Franco movie i think its called Pineapple Express, look hilarious.

So far I havent heard one good comment about the new James Bond movie.I have to be ohnest and say until this new guy came along I wasnt much of a James Bond fan.So you will most probably find that I will be one of the few that will actually enjoy it because I wont be comparing it to anything.Yes,so far what Ive heard is theres no gadgets,you dont see much of the Aston Martin,the nauseating product placement ect ect I will watch it and let you know what I think of it from a non James Bond fan viewpoint.

Perhaps the lack of futuristic gadgets makes the new Bond focus more realistic/believable and less tongue-in-cheek.
I think that the new approach and style/s with the Daniel Craig-era Bond films was perhaps the right direction to go; it's certainly re-ignited the interest of Bond films, as is very evident at the box offices around the world.
They're also somewhat 'darker' in their approach/content, and again I think this is has added to the realism of the spy-genre.
Look at the new Batman movies too. What glitzy, plasticky, cheesy, tarted-up crap some of the older '90's ones were (IMHO), compared to the brilliantly executed (IMHO again) Batman Begins and Dark Knight. There's quite a contrast there, to say the least, and one that has clearly paid dividends.
Just my 2c-worth (not sure what the exchange rate for that would be, LOL..).

Well I think Batman is a whole lot more realistic than bond. We all know that both bond and the bat can single handedly defeat an entire US army, but atleast the bat wears an armoured suit and has an array of gadgets. Bond on the other hand, all he needs is a gun a few sips of vodka every now and then...

I too was disappointed in the new Bond, not for the lack of unbelievable gadgets but the fact that the story was continued from Casino Royale.
There were lots of gadgets like for instance the massive touchscreen wall at MI5 and the C902 taking pictures and then cross-checking them with MI5's database- conceivable but a bit far-fetched.
Anyone here a fan of Entourage?

Dam that sux bro, the latch in the middle on the right side of my batt cover also broke a month ago, now the cover squeeks a lil when i use my phone, and theres a lump on that side cause of that latch breaking. They shouldn't charge more than R5 for these covers they are so cheaply built

How cool is this theme from Zedge called 'LoveSong'
And the font is called Absicca.
Also as you can see my phone is nice and clean after a good old Master Reset.

OK its time to jack this baby up with some serious extra storage.So far locally ive found a 8GB micro SD for R532.00 and a 16GB micro SD for R1300 at Look & Listen.Havent decided if Im crazy enough to buy that 16GB card for that ludicrous price yet but my birthdays in 2 weeks and December for me is a month of madness.Also going to replace these absolutely crap E90 headphones with a Sennheiser HD 201 headphone going for R399.00 They not the best of headphones but what Ive read about them its all good.If I dont get the 16GB card I'll have a bit more to spend on headphones but my heart is set on the 16GB card.I always make sure I spoil myself come the end of the year.You work so hard throughout the year I always think its the right thing to do before you blow it all on Xmas presents ect.Plus I get a month off work.Cant wait man.
